Rare troops are so rare now. We could recruit troops only in villages and towns. We should able to recruit at castle, too. And we only got a few rare troops{empire vigla} from powerful notables of villages who are so rare and cannot see at every village. My option is that rare troops could be recruited at castles, I mean castles have notables like villages and towns and recruitable but only for rare troops with a cost of 50 or 100 golds and 1 or 5 influences according to the troops tier. For example, empire vigla recruit will cost 100 golds and 1 influence but powerful notables in castles will give us high tier rare troops like empire heavy horseman who will cost 300 gold and 3 influence. I am empire fan. Empire will be great with many cataphracts in our own army. For now, I don't have not rare troops in my party and only get them through prisoners. That shouldn't be like that. Castles should give us rare troops. They should be expensive but not so very rare like current situation of game.
